33 Thanksgiving Crafts for Adults and Kids

 

In my opinion Thanksgiving crafts, whether they are adult crafts or for kids, just don’t get the attention they deserve. I mean, Halloween goes all out and the opportunities for projects are massive. But after that there are only two short months until Christmas, so Thanksgiving only gets a few weeks to try and grab your attention.

Why we love these projects

Whether you’re hosting a large group at your house or keeping it small this year, it’s always fun to make crafts for Thanksgiving. With the weather turning cool and crisp, sitting around a table surrounded by paint, glue, and glitter provides the perfect opportunity to create more than just crafts – you’ll also be creating family traditions and memories. Crafting is the perfect activity for the season when we’re focusing on our blessings.
